Last month was the Heart-Cry for Revival Conference, held every other year in Asheville, NC. We're blessed to be able to hear some of the messages shared there. Today we'll hear the first part of a panel discussion on the subject of revival, specifically about the First and Second Great Awakenings God brought to America. Sammy Tippit and Bill Elliff direct the discussion, and Mark Bearden and Bob Bakke share specifics about the awakenings.

Last month was the Heart-Cry for Revival Conference, held every other year in Asheville, NC. We're blessed to be able to hear some of the messages shared there. Today we'll hear from Dr. Michael Catt, Senior Pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA. He shares that revival always comes in a certain order, but the American church has gotten things out of order, and therefore we are experiencing famine. In order for God to stop the famine, we must seek Him for the answer and deal with the problems He shows us. "God, forgive us for thinking that famine is normal!"

Last month was the Heart-Cry for Revival Conference, held every other year in Asheville, NC. We're blessed to be able to hear some of the messages shared there. Today we'll hear from Dr. John Avant, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church Concord in Knoxville, TN.

Are you becoming weary of praying for revival? Did you know we are actually living in some of the greatest days of revival and spiritual awakening in many lifetimes ... in countries all around the world? So why hasn’t God answered that prayer in America? Could it be that we’re praying the wrong prayer? We hope you'll take what Dr. Avant shares today to the Lord and ask Him what you should do with it.

God will not turn away a broken and contrite heart. But He does stiff-arm the proud. The only way to receive God's grace is through humility. Today, Dr. Tom Elliff explains the beauty and the cost of biblical brokenness.

Do you struggle with wondering if you REALLY know Jesus? Do you ever wonder if you’re REALLY saved? That’s what Dr. Tom Elliff talks about today in the context of his series on intimacy with Jesus Christ. He shared this series with our staff during special meetings in 2009. We pray you will be blessed by the simple and helpful way he gives to "examine yourselves" (2 Corinthians 13:5).

One of the greatest difficulties we face in ministry is maintaining intimacy with Jesus Christ. But the less intimate we are with Him, the more profound we think we are. “A dry well sounds deep, but it’s still dry.”

This is how Pastor Tom Elliff started the message we'll hear today. He shared this series with our staff during special meetings in 2009. We pray you will be blessed by what you hear.

Pastor Greg Belser also shared at our recent Vision Gathering retreat. He pastors Morrison Heights Baptist Church in Clinton, MS, and he is a Board member for Life Action Ministries. Today we'll hear him share from Acts 13 and Matthew 25 about the importance of serving God with our lives.
